Pressing One's Mamlouk: Round Two for Egypt?
It appears the street protesters in Cairo are raising the ante and raising the anti-: anti-Tantawi and anti-post-Mubarak ruling council, that is. (I do suspect that the military government's focus on prosecuting Mubarak & Co. is an attempt to assuage the middle that they are on a path of reform and that the protesters are impatient troublemakers.) A three-way long term struggle appears underway, the Military Honchos versus The Young Revolutionary Liberalish Folks versus the Islamists with alliances shifting daily depending on the issue. Not a good thing that the army is threatening removal of demonstrators with "firmness and force" since, with apologies for being glib though I mean it with quite serious gravity, that is the literal recipe of rape.
